Barclaycard

A very, very valuable discount available to those who hold one of the American Airlines Citi or Barclaycard co-branded credit cards is a discount of up to 7,500 miles on saver award flights to or from select cities each month via the Reduced Mileage Awards list. This has become even more valuable than it was for a while since American has loosened up a bit on saver award availability. I write about these discounts a few times a year since the cities are…

I love my rewards credit cards for many reasons, and one of those reasons has nothing to do with the miles and points they earn me, but rather the price protections they provide. Stuff goes on sale all the time, and it can be massively annoying when something you bought today shows up for half price the next time you notice it online or in the store. Sometimes retailers give you a price protection guarantee for a week or two,…

The sign-up bonus for the Priceline Rewards Visa is doubling starting next week from 5,000 to 10,000 points after the first purchase. These points can then be used for up to $150 towards Priceline.com purchases. Not only are the points worth 1.5 cents each towards Priceline purchases, but you can get 10% of them back, and earn 5x on Priceline purchases.

I’ve spilled lots of words professing my love of the Citi Price Rewind website and its easy-to-use price protection benefits, but I don’t always use my Citi cards for every single purchase, and it just so happened that some clothes I bought about 80 days ago on my AAdvantage Aviator Red World Elite Mastercard just went on sale…because, of course, that’s what clothes usually do after a while. While I like the automated features of the Citi Price Rewind website, their price…

I’ve started to hear more and more about folks considering giving up on their hotel rewards credit cards, which I personally think is often a mistake, especially if the card comes with an annual night worth more than the annual fee. However, of course everyone has to do the math for themselves and naturally some cards are better than others. I completely understand that after the first year, the math to keep the card gets harder to justify than it…

Today Barclaycard announced a new Uber Visa credit card that will be available to applicants beginning on November 2, 2017. This new card is a little fascinating to me as it is a no annual fee card that delivers some pretty solid returns, but perhaps not in the categories that you might expect. First things first, the Uber Visa will be available on 11/2/17, with a new customer bonus of $100 after you spend $500 on purchases in the first 90…

I got pretty excited the other day at the notion of earning 2.125 miles per dollar on my United Club Card thanks to a targeted promo (read linked post to see if your United card was targeted), but as the rewards-card-powers-that-be would have it, that shiny offer got over-shadowed pretty quickly as something even better arrived in my inbox. My AAdvantage Aviator Red Mastercard just received an offer to earn 3x bonus miles for every $1 spent from 10/1/17 –…

BARCLAYCARD OFFER REFERENCED BELOW IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE A consistent sign-up bonus for at least the last year or so has been the Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite MasterCard and its 50,000 bonus miles worth $525 in travel awarded after you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first 90 days. Now the terms of the offer state its a limited time offer and can be canceled at any time without notice, but once an offer has hung around for that…

I’m kind of crushing on the creativity of a new program being piloted by the AAdvantage Aviator Mastercard to targeted accounts. They are introducing a new Flight Cents pilot program beginning October 1st where, if you are targeted and opt in, you are essentially buying American Airlines miles with each purchase you make on the card that isn’t a round dollar amount at a rate that varies based on the offer your account was targeted for. Confused yet? Let me try to explain……

Way back in the rewards credit card dark times (you know, like four or five years ago), it was relatively common for most sign-up bonuses to be awarded upon the first use of your new credit card. This has slowly but surely changed as the minimum spending requirements to trigger sign-up bonuses have inched up from $1,000 to $2,000 and beyond. However, there are exceptions, and right now there is a card with not only an increased sign-up bonus, but…
